Biosolids used as fertilizer In some parts of the world, human waste is being used as agricultural fertilizer and it is known as biosolids. We have biosolids due to the wastewater treatment process. There are many advantages and disadvantages to the use of biosolids, however, I believe the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. Biosolids create job opportunities, promote farming, is free and is a cost effective of disposal. Using biosolids can cause odours in the area and may affect health as

Storm water is a great danger to the environment because it does not receive any treatment before entering waterways. A storm can overload the system, causing it to reach its max capacity. The water treatment plant is then forced to let the overflowing, untreated, water dump into the river. This leads to an almost opaque water, like that found in the Puget Sound. There is an average of 900 billion gallons of untreated sewage water entering larger bodies of water each year in the United States (Barnett)

Pharmaceutical formulations are important in the treatment of human and animal disease conditions (Thiele-Bruhn and Beck, 2005). Pharmaceutical chemicals (PHCs) are recognized as biologically active compounds and their molecular weights may range from 200 to 500 / 1000 Dalton. Currently, there is little information on the total global administration of drugs to humans and animals. Despite the unavailability of data, the total sales of formulations were $518 billion in 2004 (Kümmerer, 2009). This

Pollution is a term applied to any environmental state or manifestation which is harmful or unpleasant to life, resulting from failure to achieve or maintain control over the chemical, physical or biological consequences or side effects of human scientific, industrial and social habits (Feugo, 2008; Anderson et al., 2005). From another perspective, water pollution refers to any physical, biological or chemical change in water quality that adversely affects living organisms and makes water unsuitable

Pharmaceutical formulations are effective in the treatment of human and animal disease conditions (Thiele-Bruhn and Beck, 2005) but, they are now widely prevalent in the environment due to their persistence and biological activity. Prescription (branded and non-branded) and over-the-counter medications are the major classifications of pharmaceutical products available to the United States population. Generally, the molecular weights of therapeutic medicines may range from 200 to 500 / 1000 Dalton

Let have a critical look at our environment as a complex system with many different interaction between its different components making life possible on earth. Unfortunately, human activities over the years have adversely affected the chemical, biological, physical and social component of the natural environment leading to environmental pollution and climatic change. In the United Kingdom for example, the ‘Great Smog of 1952’ cannot be forgotten in history when we talk about environmental pollution

Human and animal disease conditions are treated or controlled with pharmaceutical formulations (Thiele-Bruhn and Beck, 2005). These formulations are known to be biologically active compounds and their molecular weights may range from 200 to 500 / 1000 Dalton. Currently, there is little information on the total global administration of drugs to humans and animals. Despite the unavailability of data, sales totaled $518 billion in 2004 (Kümmerer, 2009). This figure is projected to increase to nearly

(PHCs) may translate to higher residues in the environment. Typically, an ingested drug becomes metabolized and a part is excreted through urine and / or feces possibly in different forms. However, their removal during conventional wastewater treatments is inefficient because of their nature (Zuehlke et al., 2004; Daughton, 2007). Prescription (branded and non-branded) and over-the-counter medication are the major classifications of pharmaceutical products available to the United States (U.S.)

As has been asserted in a lot of research, how to handle human waste could be a major issue. Human waste including food waste and body waste. The human body waste will be focused in this report. According to GENECO, there are 75 million m3 of human sewage have been creating every year in Bristol. The human body waste could contaminate water system and lead disease if they haven 't been treat appropriately. As Tearfund and WaterAid(2002) has pointed out, four out of ten people, 2.4 billion, are suffering
